Gray has been vital in Tottenham’s revival this season, with the Lilywhites winning three games in a row and climbing up to eighth.
The 20-year-old has played in a new makeshift role for the past 4 games, with Spurs winning three and drawing one.
Another player who could be in for a shot for the England team is Will Lankshear, who has started the season off superbly with 15 goals in 16 games for Middlesbrough, including 13 in the league.
